Automation promises to bring huge rewards to the modern-day warehouse. But doing it right is no simple task.

Call smaller warehouses finally afford the automation they need to complete with larger operators?

The fact that employees spend many paid work hours on clerical tasks doesn’t help a company's bottom line.

While warehouse robotics is undeniably a growing trend, the narrative surrounding its value deserves a more granular look.

Regardless of the size or age of a warehouse, person-to-goods (P2G) robotics is better for warehouse functionality than goods-to-person (G2P), says Kait Peterson, senior director of product marketing at Locus Robotics.

Too many warehouse automation projects are failing, leading to widespread layoffs in the autonomous mobile robots industry, and putting the future of organizations at risk.

Autonomous lift trucks are all the rage in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, says David Griffin, chief sales officer with Seegrid. But bringing them on requires extensive preparation.

Monty McVaugh, head of products with Opex Corporation, tackles two major challenges in the warehouse today: the chronic labor shortage, and demand by customers for ever-faster order fulfillment.

Bringing technology into a warehouse — especially robotics — is no simple task. Kim Losey, chief growth officer with Rapid Robotics, discusses the right way to introduce innovation.

It may sound surprising, but what differentiates humanoid robotics from a lot of other automation technologies is that it actually takes nothing to prepare for it, says Damion Shelton, president of Agility Robotics.
